EARTHWORM JIM HD ARTICLES

June 9, 2010 - When Earthworm Jim first came out, I was about ten years old. Playing the game for the first time, I remember being incredibly unsettled by the oddness of the characters and the disjointed situations that star hero Jim wound up in.

June 4, 2010 - Next week's gonna be a good one for Xbox Live Arcade. For one, we'll finally get the long-awaited remake of Earthworm Jim. This is an HD upgrade of the original, beloved Super Nintendo and SEGA Genesis game.

August 18, 2009 - Last week SEGA opened a poll for gamers to pick the next Genesis game to be released on Xbox Live Arcade. Among the choices was the classic platformer Earthworm Jim. Then yesterday Gameloft announced it was digging up Earthworm Jim for digital distribution on consoles and iPhone.

August 17, 2009 - Gameloft has announced it will be delivering the classic platformer Earthworm Jim to digital distribution platforms and mobile phones. Originally released on 16-bit systems back in 1994, Earthworm Jim stars the titular invertebrate who wears a super suit which grants him the power to fight the evil forces of Queen Slug-for-a-Butt (really). It's not clear, yet, whether this is an all-new game or a straight port of the original. As of this writing, Gameloft could not be reached for clarification.
